About this listen

“Beaver to Bigtime – The Mark J Yardley Story” is the journey of a country boy who overcame the odds inherent in a small town to build an empire that continues to grow today. As a precocious kid, he knew that his place in the world would only be as good as the ideas that came out of the mind. With guts and perseverance, Mark hurdled the limitations of his rural Beaver, Utah surroundings which often kept a person bound to a predetermined existence. Ideas are what this man is about. Through this audiobook, we see possibilities, both good and bad, bringing him through hardships that would stop most people dead in their tracks.

There is nothing easy about building a fortune. It's even harder to keep it going. With the grit ingrained in his LDS heritage, Mark pushed through many personal struggles including raising children from three failed marriages, people out to get him, and alcoholism. This book is about triumph after tragedy; good ideas after the lessons of bad ones; and wisdom on how to move onward. Today, his company of multiple trucking stops, restaurants and convenience stores is worth tens of millions of dollars. Possessing great foresight and an instinct to act, he expands a business that continues to reach across the country. With great precision, he cuts a swath into the industry, and is destined to move his company past the billion-dollar mark.

With a Foreword by Jimmy Haslam, owner and CEO of both Pilot Flying J and the Cleveland Browns, this book is a must listen for anyone wanting to harness their own entrepreneurial spirit so as to realize the ideas that stem from it.
